The paint required to cover 1 door is 5/4 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The paint required to cover 1 3/5 doors = 2 liters.

Convert mixed fraction into proper fraction.

Therefore, the paint required to cover 8/5 doors = 2 liters.

The paint required to cover 1 door = x liters.

To find x :

Comparing the given data and the unknown data.

8/5 door / 2 liters = 1 door / x liter

x = 2 × 5/8

x = 10/8

x = 5/4 liters.

The paint required to cover 1 door is 5/4 liters.
